After saying that, he seemed to have no intention of continuing.
Clearly, aside from the top-ranked contender on the Soaring Dragon Rankings, no one else would receive individual rewards.
This outcome still came as a surprise to most people. Deep down, everyone had assumed the two rankings would carry roughly equal prestige, rather than one being in the heavens and the other in the dirt.
This showed that, between factions and individuals, those above valued factions, collectives, and collectivism more than individualism... This was also the Primordial Chaos Clan's core ideology, stemming from their innate Primordial Chaos Formation.
"Actually, it makes sense. Across all of Tai Yu, there probably isn't another reward on the level of a Yu Ruins quota."
"Unless they directly recruit someone into the Tai Yu imperial clan and make him an imperial son-in-law or something."
"Hard to say. Being an imperial son-in-law isn't easy."
Another wave of hushed discussion swept through the shadows. The Divine Treasury Ground itself remained generally quiet.
But outside the Divine Treasury Ground, any news was enough to cause a sensation among the public. Right now, they were discussing one matter.
"Was this Imperial Bestowed True Dragon Plaque prepared specifically for Li Tianming?"
"It really looks that way!"
"His Majesty values him this highly? That's an extremely important statement!"
At the garrison of the Primordial Chaos Military Manor, at least, the uproar continued unabated. Whether it was the Yu Ruins quota or the Imperial Bestowed True Dragon Plaque, both made their hearts burn with excitement.
Inside the Divine Treasury Ground.
"!!"
In his excitement, Yang Xu suddenly grabbed Yue Li Lian's arm.
"What are you doing?" Yue Li Lian shot him a speechless glare. "Look at you!"
"No... could it be that this Imperial Bestowed True Dragon Plaque exists because of Tianming?"
